Today it is my turn on the blog tour for The Island of Summer Sunsets by Susan Sands.
Book Review
The Island of Summer Sunsets by Susan Sands
I was given a copy of this book in exchange for a fair review thanks to Harpeth Road Press
In the small southern village on Fripp Island, where the daily tide swells and minnow counts are the biggest news, Janie Brooks lives in a beach bungalow next door to her mother, and her life is moving along at about the same slow pace as the island—exactly the way she wants it.
After the death of Janie's husband, unable to find her own way, she continues to follow her husband's passion for island conservation and spends her days with the seagulls and swallow-tailed kites, in the serene bliss of the Atlantic coast. Until newcomer Ryan Kennedy and his teenage daughter move into the rental down the street, shaking up Janie's well-ordered, simple life.
Ryan has enough to deal with, being a single dad and managing his daughter's grief over the abandonment by her mother. All he wants is to move into a brand-new house in this quaint community and start fresh. But that might be easier said than done.
I got completely lost in this story. I sat down to read for 5 minutes whilst I was waiting for a lift and before I knew it I had read 15%. A sweet story that ended far too soon for my liking. A quick and easy book to read with very likeable characters. I'd highly recommend this for a lovely holiday read.
Rating 5/5
